Overstock buys up the excess inventory from other stores and manufacturers for prices lower than normal. They offer these items at a discount on their site, where you can use Overstock coupons. Customers will have the opportunity during checkout to enter Overstock coupon codes in order to save their purchase of any of the abundant offerings on the site. Since the company’s business plan is based on the availability of excess inventory from other retailers, rather than being based on their own will to manufacture certain products, their product categories are eclectic and do not fall together easily into a single description.

To obtain current coupons, check out Benscoupons.com before shopping. Copy the codes you wish to use, then click on the link to be taken to Overtock's site. Enter your Overstock.com promo code when prompted, and click to apply your savings. An OverStock.com coupon code can be used during checkout to purchase furniture, clothing, TVs, books, music, kid’s toys, food, wine, bedding, shoes, jewelry and kitchenware.

First-time shoppers that are just browsing can check out the ‘Clearance Bins’ for the deeply discounted deals. They can also sign up for reminders, or as the site calls them, ‘O-minders,’ sent to your cell phone (O-Text) or to your email address (O-mail) with news about the company and great deals on merchandise. Customers will be viewing the best deals if they browse the site while they are signed in. It is not necessary to purchase a product to sign in. Visitors can register on the site for free. The company also offers to match any advertised price on the internet.
